Chairman. for over four decades we have dreamed about the lifting of the Iron Curtain. Now it has become a reality. Eastern Europes first government in over 40 years headed by a nonCommunist prime minister was installed recently in Poland. Hungary has taken bold stepsunthinkable as recently as 1 year agoto establish a multiparty democratic system of government and a market economy. The Hungarian Government courageously defied its Warsaw Pact allies and opened the gates of freedom to tens of thousands of refugees from East Germany. and many more thousands of East Germans left their homeland through Czechoslovakia and Poland. Mr. Chairman. we stand at a critical hinge of history.
